H&S managing partner Michael N. Chet­kovich
was presented with the Centennial
Award at commencement ceremonies of
the University of California at Berkeley
School of Business Administration, his
alma mater, last June. The award was
authorized by the regents of the university
for presentation by its schools on a once-in-
a-century basis to illustrious alumni in
commemoration of the one-hundredth
anniversary of the university's founding.
Mr. Chetkovich addressed the graduating
class, undergraduates, faculty, parents
and guests following acceptance of his
medallion.
His award was granted through a joint sponsorship of the university
alumni association and the Cal Business Alumni, a separate organi­zation
of graduates of the School of Business Administration. The
citation commends Mr. Chetkovich for outstanding service to his pro­fession,
to the business community and to the university. Only one
Centennial Award is presented by each alumni group of the university
to the outstanding living alumnus representing that group in recogni­tion
of the recipient's service to the university during the centennial
period.
Mr. Chetkovich graduated as a Phi Beta Kappa from Berkeley in 1939.
He earned a master's degree the following year on a Flood Fellowship.
Following is an abridged text of the address he gave at the Berkeley
commencement exercises.
